High G and Low F harps...what does this mean?

Hi everybody. Bob from New Jersey here. Can any of you amazing harp players clarify something for me? What exactly are harps in the key of "high" G and "low" F? The guy at the local music store told me that "high" G is the same as Ab, and I'm pretty sure that's not true. He doesnt know anything about harpin.

Do I need these harps for my playing? Listen to Broke and Hungry from the Crucial Blues Harmonica CD. When I play that song, I can never make the solo sound like Billy Branch. Ronnie Shellist told me it's because he's using a high G harp, which I dont have. continue reading...

I can see them with Puffin but not with safari. Is this goint to change?

Enjoying the site and Thanks.

I've had been through each interview when they came out. They all have some very valuable info. However recently I've visited all the interviews to watch the segments on improvising. Man did I get a bunch of info on that topic. I would highly recommend re-visiting the interviews often because as you progress new things will jump out at you that you didn't catch the first time.
